Ras Malai – A Tempting Traditional Indian Sweet
The Ras Malai, or Rossomalai is a traditional Indian sweet. ‘Ros’ means juice and ‘Malai’ means cream.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 litre milk
- 6 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon sliced almonds
- 1/4 teaspoon powdered black cardamom
- 1/2 cup water
- 50 gm paneer
- 1/2 pinch saffron
- 1/2 teaspoon sliced pistachios
- 1 teaspoon all purpose flour
Preparation:
The Rasmalai recipe is a simple and delectable Indian sweet recipe. To make this recipe take a bowl and add crumbled paneer in it. Mix it with all purpose flour and knead to a smooth dough. Make small balls from the dough and flatten them lightly using your palms. Take a pan and add 1/2 cup water in it. Heat it over high flame. Add 3 tbsp sugar and bring the mixture to a boil until the sugar has fully dissolved. Once it’s done, remove from the flame. While the mixture is still hot, add the paneer balls and cover it with a lid. Keep the pan aside for few hours.
Take another heavy pan and add milk in it. Boil it until reduced to half. Then add the remaining sugar and stir well until fully dissolved. Remove the mixture from the flame. Add cardamom powder, saffron strands and mix well. Remove the paneer balls from the sugar syrup and squeeze them gently. Add them to the hot milk and garnish with almonds and pistachios. Keep the Rasmalai in the fridge for 2 to 3 hours as it is best enjoyed when chilled.
